Offhand, I'd say you may have a problem with your path,
and IDL cannot find the function strnumber().

Try:
IDL> .comp strnumber

and see what happens. (does IDL find it? if so, run the code again.
If not, check your path !PATH and add the appropriate folders).
My guess is that IDL cannot find the function, and therefore interprets
strnumber as an array, and the hex=hex is a syntax error.

Cheers,
bob

PS I think strnumber is a function in the astronomy library, so it doesn't
come with IDL.
